00:00In terms of Cristiano Ronaldo, yeah, that's my idol.
00:02Cristiano lives for the goals, it's a fact.
00:05One of the greatest players, he's the greatest in the game.
00:13I've never met or seen a player
00:15and I can confirm that Cris in the dressing room
00:19is a difficult or complicated person.
00:21Cris is Cris and we know his personality and his competitiveness,
00:24which is something extraordinary, but as a teammate as well,
00:27they're some of the things that have helped me the most.
00:29Everyone knows the admiration I've always had for Cristiano,
00:33for the player.
00:33Playing against him is an honour,
00:35for everything he's done in football.
00:38No matter what happened before, what will happen after,
00:42he'll remain a legend in the game.
00:43Above all, he's the best player ever.
00:50The way he thinks, the way he works,
00:52I think he's a model to follow, he's the ultimate model.
00:54The way he does things.
00:56When someone speaks, it's like you said,
00:58it's no use saying one thing and then
01:01bringing in the players to do something else.
01:03Above all, he's a person that you notice,
01:05that follows what Cris says.
01:07Above all, I think that's what all the young players
01:09and all the people who dream of being,
01:11should take as a model,
01:13dream of being football players.
01:14I think when you're talking about atmosphere,
01:16it's experience, it's how you handle big occasions.
01:19I don't think there is another player in world football
01:22that has had six European Championships.
01:25So I think what's important is to understand
01:27what a player brings.
01:29In an era where we had himself and Messi,
01:32the comparison doesn't matter.
01:33They're just both incredible players in football's history.
01:38So to be going and look as physically good as he looks,
01:41to keep scoring goals as he's done,
01:42the numbers he racked up have just sort of become normal.
01:45Abnormal numbers have become normal year after year.
01:48The future, we never know what's going to happen.
01:50I never believed that I will change 33 to Juventus,
01:5537 to Manchester United, 38 to Saudi League.
02:01In one month, I'll do it 14, so I don't know.
02:03I'm still good.
02:04I'm still playing good.
02:06So we'll see what's going to happen.
